First PLC for Principals

To build capacity with school principals, the Curriculum, Instructions and Assessment (CIA) department Director and Specialists and Director of Staff Development worked strenuously to host a Professional Learning Community (PLC) designed for school principals. In mid-December, all primary public school principals situated in Majuro along with the principal of Laura High School and Life Skills Academy attended the first Principal’s PLC. PLC is an ongoing process in which a group of educators regularly meet to share expertise, and collaboratively work to improve teaching skills and students’ academic performance. Creating life-long learning leaders and creating a thriving school climate where educators educate and learners acquire knowledge are two of the overall goals for the Principal’s PLC. This PLC discussed the leadership roles, why their roles as principals is significant, school management, and school records. During this PLC, Sandy Konelios the Director of Staff Development shared a discussion around school management by looking at “What’s in Your Day.” Afterwards they discussed the importance of maintaining updated school records.
